When Luo Ran heard his cousin ask this, he smiled calmly: "Even if you don't come, I won't kneel for a long time. Cousin, cousin, don't worry, I won't let myself be wronged."

Shen Yuzhi looked at her and sighed, knowing that this little girl looked soft and weak on the surface, but in fact she was very stubborn, so he stopped forcing her and said instead: "By the way, I promised you the bonsai last time. After searching some, I finally have some clues. When I find it in a few days, I will send it to you."

"What bonsai? Why didn't I know?"

Shen Xiqing interjected.

Luo Ran understood what his cousin meant, nodded understandingly, and said, "My cousin promised me a few days ago."

"Oh, I see, but what's so good about bonsai? I brought you a good thing today!"

With that said, Shen Xiqing pulled Luo Ran eagerly to her yard.

Shen Yuzhi looked at the two girls and smiled slightly.

After Luo Ran left, Aunt Du brought the tea and put it in the old lady's hand. She said with a bitter face: "Old lady, you have found a good job for this slave."

Grandma Du has been serving the old lady since she was a child, and she speaks more freely than others.

The old lady picked up the teacup, blew on it, and said, "Don't be humble, I still know what you are capable of."

Aunt Du smiled, stared at the old lady's profile and said, "Old madam, next month is the second lady's hair extension ceremony. You have forbidden the second lady's feet at this time..."

The old lady snorted softly, put the tea cup down again, leaned half-close to Ruan Tao, and said: "Thankfully the boss is not here today, otherwise you think the second brother's family is just as simple as confinement?"

Grandma Du was startled and nodded: "That's true. But, if that's the case, why do you still punish the eldest lady?"

The old lady opened her eyelids and glanced at Aunt Du, then lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone: "If I don't punish her, how would she know that this is in the capital, not Jiangnan. There are more than a hundred masters and slaves in this mansion. How can we still have the happy and carefree life of her father and daughter?"

Aunt Du nodded: "The old lady is still wise."

The old lady snorted coldly: "What's the use of being wise? She just had to cancel the engagement on her own."

Speaking of this marriage, Nanny Du couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you treat Mr. Shen so..."

The old lady smiled and said, "You also see that I treat that child Yu Zhi differently?"

Aunt Du's eyes flashed slightly and she asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the old lady wants to wait for the eldest lady to cancel the engagement before she can get closer to the Shen family?"

The old lady shook her head: "No."

Aunt Du: "Why?"

For a long time, the old lady didn't speak.

Just when Mammy Du thought the old lady would stop talking, she heard her slowly speak again: "That kid Xue'er likes Shiheng, but Shiheng is not suitable for her."

Aunt Du: "Why?"

Old Madam: "Although Duke Jingguo's Palace looks glamorous now, there have been no outstanding people for three generations since the old Duke was born. Although there is such a person, look at him, how can he be oriented toward Duke Jingguo's Palace? So... If this continues, within two generations, the Duke of Jingguo will be slowly submerged among the powerful people in the capital.

But the Shen family is different. You may think that the Shen family is a noble family, but the integrity of scholars from a century-old family is not lost forever. Although Shen Boli is only from the third rank now, he is still half a teacher to the prince, and he must be the next chief assistant.

And if you look at that child Yu Zhi today, even in front of me, he is not timid at all. Instead, he is reasonable in every word, so that the second child cannot say a word and can only go back and accept the punishment.

The most important thing is that Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Wang are not the ones who tease their wives. Xueer is sweet-tempered and willful, and only a generous family can tolerate her. Madam Jingguo, no. "

After hearing this, Aunt Du also sighed: "Old Madam is indeed thinking about the Second Young Lady."

The old lady laughed at herself: "They say I am biased, but aren't people's hearts naturally biased? One grew up under my nose, and the other didn't take me seriously. Anyone would do this."

Aunt Du added: "However, the eldest lady has canceled the engagement. Looking at the Shen family, I will definitely choose the eldest lady."

A sharp look flashed in the old lady's eyes: "So, we cannot let her cancel the engagement."

When Luo Ran returned to the yard, he saw a bamboo cage in the yard. It was covered with soft cushions and had a ball of snow-white furry things nestled on it.

"what is that?"

Luo Ran asked in surprise.

There is no one in the girl's family who doesn't like small animals, let alone little things that are so white and soft.

Shen Yuzhi smiled warmly, stepped forward to open the cage, and pinched the back of the little thing's neck with one hand to lift it up.

The sudden movement made the little thing couldn't help but let out a "meow".

Luo Ran said nervously: "Cousin, please be gentle!"

Shen Yuzhi smiled and said nothing, holding the cat in his arms.

The kitten seemed to feel it, moved its body, and continued to sleep in Shen Yuzhi's arms.

"Is this for me?"

Luo Ran still couldn't believe it.

Shen Xiqing smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise what would we do here?"

Shen Yuzhi gently handed the kitten to Luo Ran and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, you are like me, yes, hold it here."

It's very cold in winter, but the little guy is warm and comfortable in his arms.

Luo Ran lowered his head to look at the kitten, then raised his head and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

The girl's cheeks are fair and tender, and she has the fragility of a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. Her almond-shaped eyes are curved, and there is a pair of looming pear dimples on her cheeks, which is more alluring than the cat in her arms.

Shen Yuzhi was shocked. The hand he was retracting accidentally touched the girl's hand. It was so soft and warm.

He looked away, looked at the cat, and said: "It is said that this cat was brought from Persia. It is very rare in Beijing. I only met it by chance. I thought you would like it, so I gave it to you." come over."

"Yeah, I like it!"

Luo Ran said impatiently, then thought of something again, turned around and looked at Shen Xiqing: "Where's my cousin? Is she there too?"

Shen Xiqing curled her lips indifferently: "Forget it, let me play with it for a while, but I don't have the patience to raise it."

Luo Ran knew this cousin's temperament. If she said she didn't like it, she definitely didn't like it, so she said happily: "That's good, I'll keep it. Cousin can come over whenever she wants to see it!"

Shen Xiqing also thought this was good: "Yeah, okay!"

The Shen brothers and sisters played with the kitten with Luo Ran for a while, and then left after having lunch together.

After everyone left, Youqing saw the young lady still hugging the kitten lovingly, and couldn't help but remind her: "Miss, that medicine..."

Luo Ran's original joyful mood suddenly cooled down, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It's at night."

Youqing nodded: "That's fine. There are many people now, so it's more convenient at night. But let's drink earlier to save..."

"I see."

For some reason, Luo Ran suddenly felt upset and interrupted Youqing's words.
